WARNING: The DVR uses the time and date to index video
on HDD that is how you find and view the images later.
Changing time and date can cause the DVR to work
improperly when you try to play back video. If you set the
hour ahead, this is not a problem. But if you set the hour
back there will be more than one recording at same time.
Therefore, you need to be careful to date and time setting. If
the time is incorrect when you install the unit, then we
recommend you to set the time immediately.

1.2 System Shutdown
To turn off the power, press the power button for proper shutdown of the system. Do not turn off the power by pulling the
power plug.
In case the power plug is pulled off while the system is operating, the currently recording file may not be closed
Caution
properly. In addition, even though index file is not damaged, index information required for quick file search may
be not saved. Therefore, turn off system power by pressing the power button to prevent malfunction.
1.3 Countermeasures after abnormal shutdown
The DVR has been designed to operate for long periods without a problem.
The operation of the system can be locked up however, when major parts (such as hard disk) function abnormally due to
external electric shock, physical damage, or other various reasons.
The system stops operating during abnormal situations, and the internal watchdog circuit is activated in order to reset the
system for rebooting within 10 seconds. The system will then recover normally. However, if major parts (such as hard disk)
are physically damaged, it is impossible to recover normally. This will cause continuous rebooting by watchdog or deadlock
without reset.
However, there are occasions where system does not come back from the failure even after reset. For example, from effect
of strong surge or ESD into the system can cause system halt and not be able to function. To prevent the occurrence of
such cases as above, our DVR has applied Heart Beat Module into our product’s inner architecture. If our system
encounters complication within 1 or 2 minutes then the Heart Beat function rush out forward. Heart Beat function is
working; means it has ability to put power off and on. If Heart Beat is operating properly then, Heart Beat will automatically
turn power off and on the system accordingly.
Our DVR units are originally designed and developed for installing in automotive purpose. Therefore, our units obtain much
more solid system than other CE approved products. Also, our DVR’s surge resistance level is much higher than our
competitor’s. Therefore, when there is strong surge or system halt attempt to defect our product’s performance, Heart Beat
will be there to bring the system back to normal.

3. Time Setup
This setup is to set date and time. The DVR uses the time and date to index video on HDD that is how you find and view
the images later. Changing time and date can cause the DVR to work improperly when you try to play back video. If you set
the hour ahead, this is not a problem. But if you set the hour back there will be more than one recording at the same time.
Therefore you need to be careful for date and time setting. If you set the hour back from 2AM to 1AM, such as during the
October Daylight Saving Time change over. And If you try to search for video between 1AM to 2AM, the DVR may not
operate properly because there will be two hours of recorded video during this time period. To view video during this
overlapping time period, you must start playback before 1AM, then the DVR will play both hours between 1AM and 2AM.
You cannot do a backward search through overlapping time period. However, you can do a forward search.
Input the current time and date accurately since the time and date of the system plays an important role in solving any
problem with recorded image or event log.

This setup is to turn on and off the recording of each channel. Cameras set to ‘ON’ will record continuously and each
camera can be controlled.
Recording of camera 1 is on
Recording of camera 1 is off
5.3 Color Mode
This setup is to change the screen color mode between color and B&W. Changing to B&W mode will provide twice more
disk space. If you do not need a color screen, turn it to B&W to save the HDD space for longer recording.
Color Mode is ‘B &W’ for Channel 1
Color Mode is ‘COLOR’ for Channel 1
5.4 Record Quality
This setup is to set the recording quality for the corresponding channel. According to the selected record quality, the
remaining capacity of recording time and its file size will be different. And the setting value directly influences the byte size
per image. For example, the byte size decreases as quality goes lower. In this case, blocking phenomena tends to appear,
which the artifact is caused by high compression. In contrast, blocking phenomena disappears as quality goes higher. In
this case, the required storage space per image increases, which leads to shortening of total recording period. Therefore,
26 / 49
give consideration to the necessary recording period, importance of each camera image, and quality of analog signal when
setting the recording quality. The byte size decreases when the record quality setting decreases.
The DVR has 4 different record quality levels.
Record Quality: Very High
Record Quality: High
Record Quality: Standard
Record Quality: Low
For the same recording quality, frame size will vary according to various reasons such as recording picture quality
setting, movement, complexity of the image and noise. Therefore, total recording period will differ hugely
NOTE
according to the image particularity.
Record Quality (Very High): 20~24 KB
Record Quality (High): 15~20 KB
Record Quality (Standard): 10~15 KB
Record Quality (Low): 5~10 KB
5.5 IDSM Quality
This setup is to change ISDM value of each channel. If the value set to ‘HIGH’, you can save more images using IDSM
method. We recommend you to use this option only if there is not much movement in a camera such as parking lots, office,
etc.
* IDSM (Image Difference Store Method): The DVR only records the image difference when recording one place for while.
By doing this, you can save the space in HDD. Below picture will give you an idea of what IDSM is all about. Orange mark
(moving area) is the pixel that records on the HDD. The area without red mark will not be recorded on HDD. If you set off
the IDSM function, whole area will be stored on HDD.
IDSM = OFF
IDSM = LOW
IDSM = STANDARD
IDSM = HIGH
27 / 49
5.6 Motion Sensitivity

4.
DvrManager (Remote Viewing Program)
9.1 What is DDNS?
DDNS provides a static domain name to those who have high-speed connections or use leased lines with a dynamic
Internet Protocol address.
A dynamic IP address resolves the problem stemming from the limited number of IP addresses. A dynamic IP address is
given to users of high-speed networks service and cable modems. Recently, even businesses that connect to the web
through leased lines use DHCP due to depletion of IP addresses. Almost all the PCs have a dynamic IP address, which
means that their IP address changes every time users turn on their computer or log on to the Internet.
Domain Name Service (DNS) translates a domain name like www.yahoo.co.kr into a numeric IP address. However, the
DNS system works only with static IP addresses. For this reason, most of PCs with a dynamic IP address cannot provide
various Internet services such as running a homepage.
Using a dynamic DNS server, NameIP Service enables all the PCs with a dynamic IP address to have a domain name.
